Cadance's Master Plan

"Just a little more, Honey! You can do this!" Shining Armor encouraged his wife.

Cadance gripped his hoof tightly enough that she was sure she'd break it, but Shining Armor held onto hers as well, standing firmly at her bedside. Despite the number of painkilling spells she was under, she could still feel the raw agony lancing through every limb and muscle in her body. But she didn't have much of a choice. The baby was coming, and she wasn't going to wait any longer.

The doctors all seemed impossibly calm, peering beneath Cadance's sheet to see how she was doing. Cadance didn't want to know what their view must have looked like, and she certainly didn't want Shining Armor to see. She'd heard stallions were prone to fainting if they saw the actual work of foalbirth. Besides, he was much more useful closer to her where she could see him.

She couldn't respond to him. It was all she could do to focus on her breathing. But she peered up into his kind, bright blue eyes, watching him smile down at her, the tears of joy already forming on his lids. He believed she could do this, and that was enough for her.

With a howl and a final push, she felt an emptiness inside her. She and Shining Armor didn't dare breathe. Then, they heard the telltale cry.

The doctor held up the newborn filly, barely tinged with pink, and with a bright pastel mane. Wings! And... a horn?

"Oh..." Cadance exhaled as she beheld her daughter for the first time. The doctor placed the crying foal into her arms.

Shining Armor was just a filled with shock and love as she was. "She's... an alicorn?" he said in pure awe.

"She's perfect," Cadance whispered. "We did it, Shiny."

"Yeah," he agreed. The tears started falling from both of them as Shining Armor wrapped his wife in a tight embrace, his strong arms making Cadance and the newborn feel so very safe.

The doctor interrupted. "She'll likely be hungry," she said.

A nurse took the foal and lifted Cadance's blanket. Shining Armor and Cadance watched as the tiny filly hungrily latched onto her mother's full, engorged teats. Cadance sighed with satisfaction as she felt the foal begin to suckle. She was feeding her daughter... Never before had she felt so close to another creature; so complete.

Everything was perfect. Cadance wished the moment would never end.

On all accounts, it should have been a totally normal afternoon. The sun was shining brilliantly in the crystal gardens, and Cadance was enjoying a pleasant afternoon walk with her family and new daughter. Flurry Heart was a hoofful and a half, but her parents and the castle staff had become used to her magical and emotional outbursts. The filly was bundled up in Cadance's arms as she and her husband took a break to feed her. Shining Armor wrapped a hoof around Cadance's shoulder while they watched Flurry Heart latch onto a nipple and drink hungrily.

"It's gonna be a shame when you wean her," Shining Armor said, nodding toward Cadance's enlarged mammaries.

Cadance giggled, giving Shining a peck on the cheek. "Well then, we'll just have to make sure you get plenty of time to enjoy them. Tonight," she added.

Shining Armor's ears perked up. A huge grin shot across his face.

Cadance couldn't help but grin. Shining's "I'm getting laid tonight" face was always priceless to behold. But she couldn't deny that her heart was racing as well.

When Cadance first discovered she was pregnant, she couldn't deny she was nervous. She and Shining Armor had talked and planned for it for ages, and while the "trying" process was certainly a lot of fun, confirming the pregnancy still knocked the wind out of her. But now that it had all passed... she looked back on it with fondness. She loved her big belly. She loved feeling her baby inside of her. And she loved the way Shining Armor stroked her tummy, feeling the child he had sired inside of her in total intimacy with her growing family.

If she was being totally honest with herself, she missed it. Flurry was a lot of work at first, but now mothering seemed natural to her. Even now, her thoughts were turning toward plans for a second.

...And a third. And a fourth...

She felt her womb gnawing with hunger, just as keen as a starving stomach. The first time around, she was hardly aware of what was happening. She didn't have the context to properly appreciate the beautiful process of pregnancy. She didn't even have the ability to properly savor the sensations, the incredible gravity of the precise moment of impregnation when her husband flooded her body with his hot, potent seed.

But now she craved it. The more she thought about it, the more of a rush she got just remembering her pregnancy. And the more she thought about going through it again, the more she felt waves of heat run down her spine.

Flurry finished eating, and a flutter rushed through Cadance's heart when Shining Armor picked up his daughter and put her on his back. He trotted along the garden path as Cadance got to her hooves, and the sight of her husband playing with their daughter, making her laughter peal through the glimmering plants warmed her spirit.

But her eyes couldn't help but dart under her husband's tail as well. She felt sweat bead at her temples when she saw them: her husband's balls. Nestled between his muscular thighs in that leathery, charcoal sack, she watched the fat orbs bounce beneath him, mesmerized by their motion and the faint way the light shone on the flesh. She could just imagine those plump, virile fruits churning up enough sperm to impregnate her with an army of babies this very moment.

Cadance's breath caught in her throat as her heart pounded in her chest. Her pussy throbbed hot and wet beneath her tail.

She trailed behind Shining Armor, but she didn't dare speak up. What was she supposed to say? Flurry Heart was barely out of the womb, and already she wanted to add another foal to the mix. The prospect of having one had been hard enough for Shining to adjust to, and getting him to even agree to try for one had taken years. They had talked lightly about having more than one, and he had said he might think about it when Flurry was older. But Cadance knew she couldn't wait years. She could hardly wait until tonight. Every minute she spent without feeling another life growing inside of her drove her crazy.

Cadance needed another foal. Cadance needed to be pregnant again. Cadance needed Shining Armor to breed her.

There was no way she could just ask him. He would almost certainly deny her. No, she would have to resort to other methods of getting what she wanted.

For the rest of the afternoon, Cadance planned. She thought about all her options, all angles of attack. The most direct way would be to get another stallion to do it. There were lots of virile guards under her husband's command, not to mention more medical methods involving sperm banks, but she knew she could never cheat on Shining Armor like that. Even if she was desperate, it just wouldn't be the same. Part of what made the whole experience so hot was knowing that the foal in her belly had been placed there by the very balls of the stallion she loved most. No other pair of nuts would do.

While they ate dinner together, Shining Armor getting plenty of mashed oats in his mane while Flurry Heart giggled and smooshed it all over the both of them, Cadance thought about getting him drunk. The easiest way would be to give him a "night off" from fatherhood and tell him to go drinking with the other guard stallions. He'd certainly stagger home to her, and provided she could keep him hard long enough to do the deed, he certainly wouldn't question cumming inside of her until at least the following morning. But she knew if the situations were reversed, such a plan would clearly be creepy and probably come with a sexual assault charge. The last thing she wanted was to breach her husband's trust. If she was going to get a baby out of him, the only way she could really enjoy it would be if she knew he was putting one inside of her intentionally.

And while Shining Armor rocked Flurry Heart to sleep in her crib and Cadance sang her a lullaby, she thought about just seducing him. Shining Armor was still a hot-blooded and young stallion; truly a stud in his prime. As smart and sweet as he was, she knew that he didn't have enough blood in his body to work his brain and his dick at the same time. Once he popped a boner, all he could think about was getting it satisfied. It was one of the things Cadance loved about him. She told other mares that he was "passionate," but she wondered if there was really any difference between a passionate husband and a male just being naturally horny. Cadance was willing to bet if she begged and pleaded for her husband's sweet seed after he was already balls-deep in her, he wouldn't be able to fight his natural male instincts. And if he really didn't want to breed her that badly, he would stop and they could talk. Or at least he'd pull out.

It wasn't a guarantee, but it had a good chance of working. While Shining Armor was making his last rounds with the guards before bed, Cadance was already putting her plan into motion. She lit some candles and placed them around the bed to set the mood. Then, she put on a lacy red negligee that she had bought for their first anniversary, all the way back when they were horny teens. It hadn't fit when she was still pregnant, but she knew Shining Armor loved it. It reminded him of the first night she wore it, when they had given their virginities to each other. And to complete the ensemble, some white silk stockings and lacy panties with red bows on them. Giving a stallion a gift to unwrap only built up the thrill of claiming the gift, and she knew the panties would accentuate her bouncy, swollen teats even more. A couple ice cubes rubbed on her nipples ensured they would be nice and alluring for her stallion.

Cadance posed on the bed and laid in wait. When Shining Armor finally opened the door, he saw his wife spread over their bed, lying on her side, surrounded by candles and moonlight. The red silk draped over every curve, but her pose, with her foreleg draped over her flank, showed off the lacy unmentionables that covered her goods, teasing him with his grand prize, but also giving him something to ogle immediately by leaving her tits bare and on display; a feast for his eyes. "There's my Prince Studly," Cadance purred to him.

Shining Armor closed the door behind him. His ears perked up again, and Cadance smiled as his "I'm getting laid" face lit up the room. "It's been a while, huh?" he asked as he approached the bed.

"Far too long," Cadance replied, making sure her tone never wavered from the sexy minx aura she was giving him. It was a voice only her husband had heard her use. "Especially for you. It's been nearly two months since you've had the chance to properly take your wife."

"It has," he said with a nod. "Of course, if you don't count all the blowjobs."

Cadance smirked back. The healing process after giving birth had been long, and she did miss the feeling of her husband pounding into her, but looking back, treating him with two months' worth of blowjobs to tide him over until her pussy was back online for him had been just one other aspect of the overall pregnancy experience she had loved. She felt like she was rewarding him for a job well done; both in supporting her throughout the pregnancy, and also for knocking her up in the first place.

"You earned those," she replied, batting her eyes at him. "But I know you missed me. And believe me when I say that I missed you." Cadance lit up her horn, and Shining Armor jumped suddenly as Cadance gently fondled his balls with a warm magical grip. His grin grew even wider. "Plus, I know you've been dying to get at all this," she purred at him. Rolling over onto her back, Cadance spread her legs for her husband.

Shining Armor's eyes went wide when he saw those teats sway on her stomach, her hardened nipples showing her clear desire for him, her hot, wet mound bound in white, lacy fabric below. He gave a goofy chuckle. "Uh... heh... Those are - yeah... nice tits..." he blundered. Shining hardly reacted when, below, his cock flopped free from its sheath, swinging slightly as it throbbed in growing stiffness.

Cadance wiggled her hips a bit, getting her mammaries to jiggle for her husband. "They're all yours," she cooed.

Shining Armor wasn't about to turn down that invitation. Cadance squeaked as he buried his muzzle between them, rubbing his face between the two large mounds. She never understood why stallions enjoyed that so much, but she was happy as long as he was happy. She did exhale when he moved up, taking a hardened nipple in his mouth, licking and pressing into the flesh with his lips. Then, he began to suck.

Cadance could feel the milk flow out of her in a weak sensation. She had fed Flurry Heart before putting her down to bed, but she still had plenty to give, and her husband was happy to receive. It felt so dirty to Cadance, dirtier than some of the other things she had done in bed with Shining, but watching her husband drink from her, hearing him moan slightly as he tasted the sweet cream on his tongue, and feeling the sparks as his lips and tongue stimulated her sensitive nipples was a thrill of its own. Cadance knew she would never grow tired of making love with Shining Armor. Every touch, lick, and thrust made her feel so terribly close to him, and she cherished every moment.

The stallion released her nipple with a satisfied exhale. "Celestia, you taste good, honey," he said.

Cadance smiled back at him. "I bet I'll feel even better."

Shining's grin grew lecherous as he suddenly gripped his wife's panties in his teeth and yanked down. Candance yelped when she felt the fabric slide down her legs, exposing her hot, moist pussy to the open air. Her lips throbbed below, her clit exposed and buzzing for stimulation, and her juices oozed down her smooth, slick flesh, inviting her husband deeper inside. With his eyes on his prize, Shining Armor reared up and mounted the bed, his hardened tool directly before Cadance now.

She couldn't help but bite her lip when she saw it, watching her husband clamber on top of her and line himself up with anticipation. It wasn't that Shining Armor was hung. It was that he was stupid hung. After their honeymoon, Cadance had insisted they see a doctor, who had, with some embarrassment, informed the couple that Shining Armor's massive wang was not, in fact, a medical condition in need of treatment. It was, quite literally, the size of one his legs, and thick as one too, dark blue, nearly black, and riddled with veins, a fat mid-ring, and a huge, throbbing flare. It had taken her almost a year to fully adjust to his size enough for him to fit it all inside of her, but now the desire to feel him stretch her out and fill her with all the cum he had stored in those huge, fat balls of his made her breath shallow.

Both ponies exhaled when Shining Armor's flare prodded against her entrance, parting the folds slightly and wetting his tip before the plunge. Cadance was certainly wet enough to take him, and Shining Armor throbbed eagerly. "I love you, honey," he said to her.

She wrapped her hooves around his thick neck in preparation for what was to come. "I love you too," she said, nibbling his ear affectionately.

Then, like a battering ram, Shining Armor pushed into her. Cadance felt the breath forced out of her lungs by the massive pillar of cock splitting her wide. Immediately, she felt an immense fullness, but Shining Armor still had a lot more to go. It was a ride that left her feeling dizzy every time. Only when she felt the warm comfort of his heavy stones against her cheeks did she manage to steady herself for the storm that was coming.

Shining Armor began to thrust, and Cadance felt her entire body slammed into the sheets, rocking with each powerful buck of her husband's hips into her. It was all she could do to hold onto Shining Armor's neck and brace herself for the onslaught that would leave her body tingling and disheveled. Each pump into her felt like being tossed on a ship out at sea, one right after the other. It wasn't that Shining Armor was clumsy in bed - maybe a little. Rather, his dick was simply too big to allow for much finesse or skill. No matter how slow or gentle he was, getting fucked by her husband always felt like a demolition. And Shining Armor's libido rarely allowed him to be slow; he could barely help himself from pounding his wife into a paste. Cadance knew that well-endowed stallions could certainly be very skilled - she had heard lovely things about Big MacIntosh - but with a stallion of Shining Armor's size, it simply wasn't possible to maneuver or work at her sweet spots. Shining Armor hitting her g-spot was like hitting the bullseye on a dartboard with a cannonball.

But sweet Celestia, did that monstrous dick nail every sweet spot she had and more. Within moments, Cadance felt her eyes rolling upward, her mouth hanging open as her lungs gasped for air between moans, and her body shake with immense pleasure. Every thrust into her threw her back, and within moments her mane was a mess and the feathers of her wings out of sorts, but the rough impacts only brought her closer to climax. With Shining Armor, it was impossible not to orgasm when her pussy was being slammed hard by a cock that would put zebras to shame. Cadance was certain that spreading her legs for her husband was basically the same as getting fucked by a full-grown dragon.

"Shining! Yes! Don't hold back on me!" she pleaded with him, but she knew he never did. By now, Shining Armor knew his wife had the hips to take whatever he could dish out, and she always encouraged him not to worry about her and to just enjoy himself.

And so that's exactly what he did. Shining Armor could tell his wife's climax was near, and after nearly two months of being prevented from fucking her sweet pussy, all he wanted was to unload himself in her. Those two months had felt like an eternity, and now that Shining Armor was buried in his wife again, he felt an incredible pleasure running down his spine and coursing through his cock. He could feel her hot marehood wrapped so tightly around him, and the way her flesh parted to make room for his surging stallionhood. He felt like a conqueror on top of her, like a king claiming a prize, and every smack of his heavy, swollen balls against her ass was a satisfaction of its own. No, Shining Armor didn't want to hold back on her at all.

And Cadance didn't want him to either. She watched her husband above her, fucking her hard and fast with his massive cock, feeling his fertile orbs slapping her, and again she felt her womb shudder to be filled with his seed. Normally, Cadance would have climaxed by now, but she couldn't yet; she didn't care about the way his massive dick battered at her clit or her g-spot, all that she wanted to feel was that hot rush of sperm impregnating her. And with the way Shining Armor stood over her, grinning proudly, the heat within him building, she could tell that a part of Shining Armor didn't want to pull out at all.

Cadance fully intended to take advantage of that. She spread her legs as wide as possible and clung to her husband's neck, trying to keep her wits about her as he battered her about. But she had her voice, and she wasn't afraid to beg for what she wanted. In haggard, lusty tones, she cried out for him, "Yes, Shiny! Rut me with your big, fat cock!" She could tell it was working, as his thrusts increased in pace, and the mighty force of each slammed into her abdomen over and over, but still she managed to egg him on. "Use me, Shiny! I want you to cum inside of me! Breed me you hung stud!"

His wife's praise and pleas couldn't be ignored. As Shining Armor felt his balls tighten against him, poised to unload, he knew he couldn't have pulled out if he wanted to. His wife's pussy was too tight, too perfectly warm and moist to abandon, not to mention the way she clearly wanted to feel him fill her up with his hot jizz. His thoughts began to swim, his eyes rolled around, and Shining Armor thrust with abandon, his moans echoing to the ceiling of their bedroom as he felt the moment edging ever closer. When he finally went over the edge, feeling those telltale throbs in his meat that he couldn't go back from, his face spread into a goofy grin once more. "Oh! Ohh yeah, I'm cumming, baby…" he groaned.

Cadance held her breath as Shining Armor gave a final grunt and buried himself to the hilt inside of her, his nutsack planted against her rump. Time froze for Cadance. It was happening, and she looked down between her legs to watch it happen. That titanic dick shoved balls-deep inside of her. Her husband's blissful expression of imminent climax. The throb of his flare in her passages. There was no stopping it now. Shining Armor was about to put a foal into her.

When she felt that first blast of heat inside of her, Cadance's pent-up tension exploded. She shrieked in orgasm, squeezing her husband's neck for dear life as her body shook and shuddered like a leaf, battered by his storm of thrusts. Shining Armor held still inside of her, the mind-numbing bliss of cumming inside a hot mare overtaking him completely, and Cadance made sure she stayed impaled upon his massive stallionhood the entire time. Pulse after pulse, she felt the heat wash over her, spread through her, bury into her very being. She swore she could feel the sperm fertilizing her. It was one of the most intense climaxes she had ever felt, and all she could thing was, "It's happening! I'm getting pregnant! I'm being impregnated right this moment!"

It was only a few moments, but it felt much longer to Cadance, practically high on her husband's jizz at this point. But when he was all done and every last drop of sperm was spent, Shining Armor pulled out of her and flopped onto the bed beside her, his body lightly coated with sweat.

He let out a big sigh of total contentment. "Ahh... That was good," he said.

Cadance still felt utterly breathless after her orgasm, but perhaps it was Shining's orgasm that had truly taken her breath away. Her body twitched and shuddered with lingering pleasure, and with every movement she could feel her pussy squirm, the creampie she had received flowing in and around her, some leaking out onto the sheets and soaking into the fur on her thighs. She didn't need a mirror to know she looked like an utter mess, and the bedsheets were in complete disarray as well, but she had never felt better. Shining Armor relaxed with his hooves behind his head, and Cadance laid her head on his barrel chest, stroking it with a hoof. "It certainly was. I really did miss my big studdy hubby," she cooed at him.

"I missed you too," he replied, an easygoing grin on his face as he stared up at the ceiling. "Your blowjobs are great, but nothing feels better to a stallion than making a creampie." He leaned over and kissed Cadance's messy mane. "Especially when the mare he gets to creampie is his smoking hot wife."

Cadance gave a little chuckle, still catching her breath. "That's what my pussy is there for. Trust me, you can creampie it whenever you want," she said. It sounded like post-sex flirting, but Shining Armor had no way of knowing just how completely literal she was being.

She wondered if he would mention a pregnancy, but it seemed Shining Armor was too wrapped up in coital bliss to think of anything else. "Maybe we can do this again tomorrow night then," he said with a nod. But then he let out a big yawn. "I think I'm gonna nod off, though."

Cadance smiled. Orgasms always put stallions right to sleep. She kissed his cheek. "I'll keep an ear out for Flurry tonight. You rest up, my big breeding stud. You had a big day today. And an even bigger evening."

Shining nodded as his sleepy eyes fluttered closed, yawning again. "You said it. I'll need my energy if I'm gonna... rut you again...tomorrow..." he rolled over, his muzzle loosely planted in Cadance's mane. He managed to mumble, "Night, honey. Love you."

Cadance settled in to sleep, still buzzing with excitement, but worn out after the night's excitement. With one last kiss on his horn, she said, "Love you too, honey. Sleep tight."

That night, Cadance dreamed of a big, full belly.

Operation Blue Balls

A week later, Cadance was practically skipping into the office of the royal physician. She had scheduled an appointment the very morning after her hot night with her husband and had been looking forward to it for days. When the crystal unicorn mare, Dr. Ruby Heart, called her name, Cadance lit up.

The princess took a seat across from Dr. Ruby in the clean and sterile office. The doctor greeted her rather clinically. "Good morning, Princess. Are you feeling well this morning?"

Cadance spoke with a sunshine cheer that would seem more fitting on Pinkie Pie. "Oh! Yes, actually. I'm here because, well, last week Shining Armor and I were... you know, getting 'intimate,'" she said, suppressing a giggle like she was a schoolfilly sharing a secret. "And he didn't spill a drop. So I'm probably pregnant again, and just wanted to check."

Dr. Ruby raised a brow as she set down Cadance's chart. "So soon? Flurry Heart isn't even crawling yet, I imagine."

Cadance still wore her excited grin. "Oh, I know. I guess we just couldn't help ourselves," she said with a shrug.

Dr. Ruby adjusted her glasses and approached Cadance. "Hold still then. Let's see what's going on in there." Taking out a stethoscope and lighting up her horn, the doctor began to listen inside Cadance's womb. Aided by her magic, she searched for any signs of life inside the Princess's tummy.

Cadance held her breath and waited for the answer. She watched the doctor's face carefully, looking for any signs of surprise or recognition. She watched for several minutes, waiting in agony.

Finally, the doctor pulled away and dimmed her horn. "Negative. No baby."

Cadance's sunny grin slumped to a frown immediately. "But - are you sure? Perhaps it's too early to tell? It was only last week that we did it."

The doctor nodded. "Oh, I'm sure alright. You probably weren't ovulating when he ejaculated." The blank look on Cadance's face prompted Dr. Ruby to cock her head at her. "Don't you remember all of our fertility lessons? It took you nearly six months of trying to get pregnant with Flurry Heart."

Cadance did remember. The calendars, the cotton swabs in her vagina, talks of things like 'sperm count' and 'motility,' plus the endless hours, days, weeks, months of rough and sweaty "trying." Even after a couple of months Cadance grew frustrated with the process, feeling like it would never happen, like something was wrong with her. And she definitely did not want to wait another six months, or longer, to get pregnant again. Just hearing Dr. Ruby tell her that her womb was empty now left her feeling hollow inside.

"Right..." Cadance said, crestfallen. "So... if we wanted to have another, what should we do?"

Dr. Ruby took a seat across from Cadance. "Well, it's just like before. Keep track of your ovulation, stay away from alcohol - Oh, and make sure Shining Armor doesn't ejaculate for about a week before your ovulation begins."

Cadance's ears stood up. "What?" she asked flatly.

"Well, Shining Armor's fertility is just as important as yours. He needs to ensure he has as high a supply as possible of fresh, quality sperm to increase your odds of fertilization. If he ejaculates, whether through normal sexual activity or, say, masturbation, he'll deplete his supply of quality sperm before the ideal moment."

Cadance nodded. She remembered that too. The week leading up to her scheduled ovulation was usually hell for him. Shining Armor had the libido of a teenage colt still, and she knew that he usually ejaculated two or three times a day, whether he was screwing his wife or rubbing one out when he had a quick moment. Getting him to stop when they were both planning for Flurry had been difficult and stressful for him. Getting him to stop now, especially since Cadance hadn't yet told him she wanted another baby, would be a massive undertaking...

"Of course. I'll make sure he doesn't," Cadance replied, forcing a smile to hide her nervousness. She hoped Dr. Ruby couldn't sense that she was keeping things from Shining Armor.

Dr. Ruby merely nodded though. She scribbled some notes on her chart and added, "But the key here is persistence and patience. Try to have him ejaculate inside of you as much as possible during the course of your ovulation days, and feel free to try outside of the week before your scheduled ovulation as well. Remember, most couples become pregnant within a year of trying. So, hump, hump, hump!"

"Right. Hump, hump, hump!" Cadance repeated with a nervous smile. It was a sort of mantra she, her husband, and the doctor repeated often over the course of trying for Flurry Heart, both as encouragement and at times a poor sort of codeword. The moment Cadance discovered she was ovulation, she usually panicked. She would rush to find Shining Armor and blurt out, "Shining! Hump, hump, hump!" to let him know that she was ovulating and they needed to fuck NOW. Cadance interrupted more than a few important staff meetings and diplomatic summits that way, but her fertility cycle wasn't going to wait for five star generals or Saddle Arabia.

But she didn't have that luxury. As she exited the doctor's office, she wondered if she should just come clean to Shining Armor about wanting another baby. Seducing him into cumming inside of her was tricky enough, but getting him to stop masturbating while withholding sex from him would be nearly impossible. But she knew even in this moment, Shining Armor was watching Flurry Heart while she was at her checkup, and Flurry Heart was a twenty-four-hour hooful. She severely doubted he would want to double their stress while they were still recovering and adjusting to one foal.

She would have to make it work somehow. After all, it was just as Dr. Ruby said: the key was persistence and patience. She couldn't give up now. As she exited the clinic, the doctor called after her and gave her the encouragement she needed. "Remember! Hump, hump, hump!"

Cadance turned back and waved with a smile. "Hump, hump, hump!" she replied.

As soon as she returned to the palace, Cadance was already formulating a plan of attack. She hadn't succeeded as a Princess of Equestria for so many years by backing down from tough problems. No, she planned to use all her cunning and nuance to maneuver this situation, just as she had so many others. Something she learned from her aunt was a technique, weighing her obstacles and assets.

Her obstacles were many. She calculated that her next heat period would occur in roughly a week. That meant seven days in which she had to not only prevent Shining Armor from ejaculating, but also keep him in the dark about her true intentions. She would have to use excuses to withhold sex from Shining Armor, which she hated to do. She'd also have to watch him like a hawk to make sure he didn't masturbate. Keeping him away from his stash of naughty magazines and other erotic imagery would be of vital importance to this as well. Even if she accomplished all this, she'd have to convince him to sleep with her and cum inside of her again, all without rousing his suspicions. And even if she accomplished that, if the pregnancy didn't take, she'd have to do it all over again.

Fortunately, she did have some key assets on her side. The first was that they were a bit of a power couple. As Prince and Princess of the empire, and still riding the waves of a highly publicized wedding, Cadance and Shining Armor usually tackled their royal duties together, rather than apart. This would mean that for most of the day, she could keep an eye on her husband. They couldn't do everything together, though. Shining Armor, given his background, was responsible for the military, palace security, and justice departments in the empire, which occupied him for a couple hours nearly every day. Cadance would have to make sure he went straight to these meetings and then straight on to his next task to make sure he didn't have a quickie with himself in between.

The second asset was their daughter. Flurry Heart required almost constant attention, and Cadance and Shining Armor weren't keen on the idea of having her be watched by nannies unless it was strictly necessary. Usually, Cadance was happy to take on a majority of the responsibility of watching her, especially given her newfound love of mothering. But Shining Armor took plenty of time with her as well, and had changed his fair share of diapers and rocked her through countless crying fits already. As much as it hurt to think about, if Cadance could subtly shift more responsibility for her toward Shining Armor, he might be too busy and too tired to even think about sex or masturbating.

The third asset was that, as a couple, the two were very close. Cadance knew she could come to Shining Armor with anything, and he would drop whatever he was doing to give her his full attention. It might raise his suspicions if she resorted to it too often, but as a last resort, she could always interrupt any stealthy attempts to masturbate by asking for his time, whether it be to listen to her day, or just to hold her and comfort his poor, stressed wife.

It would require vigilance, but she knew it would all be worth it in the end. Her heat seemed so far, and yet so very close. She could practically imagine Shining Armor pumping his seed into her, fertilizing her already...

That very night, the first day of seven, she came to bed a bit late after putting a fussy Flurry Heart to bed. She could still feel her nipples buzzing after nursing her daughter. She had to admit, she was tempted to spread her legs for Shining Armor and let him have his way with her, let him drink the rest of her warm, sweet milk, but she knew she would have to wait.

Shining Armor was already in bed, and as she climbed under the covers, it appeared he had the same idea. He rolled over to face her, wrapping his big arms around her, and began to kiss at her neck and ears, sending tingles down her spine. "Shiny..." she exhaled, not even able to muster a protest.

He continued his hot, firm kisses, nibbling at her ear in that way he had that always turned her on. "I've got something for you, Honey," he murmured.

She huffed, stroking his hooves as she replied, "What is it?"

Shining Armor shifted, prodding her side with a big, stiff object, and Cadance realized suddenly that he had a massive erection. How she hadn't noticed his "gift" was a mystery. Normally, she would smile and roll her eyes before climbing between his legs to accept his offering, but she knew tonight had to be different.

"Actually, I'm feeling a bit tired tonight..." Cadance said quietly. She knew they were words many wives across Equestria said countless times, but they were words she personally never wanted to utter to her beloved stallion. She frowned, hoping he wouldn't react too poorly.

Shining Armor immediately backed off, looking surprised and concerned. He touched a hoof to her forehead. "Are you feeling okay? Did Dr. Ruby say anything?"

Cadance shook her head. "No, no, nothing like that. I think it's just Flurry Heart. She drank a lot, and didn't go down to bed as quickly as she usually does. I think she might be teething, and it's making her fussy." Cadance did her best to fake a yawn. "I think I just need some rest. Maybe tomorrow night?"

The look in Shining Armor's eyes made Cadance want to take it all back. He was obviously disappointed. But he offered a half-smile and nodded. "Of course. Being a mom is a big job. If anypony deserves a break around here, it's you."

Cadance returned a grateful smile. "Thanks, Honey."

Shining Armor gave her a kiss on the head, genuine and sweet. "Don't worry about me. Maybe I can take Flurry Heart on tomorrow? Would that help?"

Cadance nestled into the sheets and answered, "I think it would. You're the best."

"I try," Shining Armor said with a grin as he laid back down to sleep.

Once the lights went out, Cadance had to wait until she heard snoring to make sure Shining wouldn't jack off as soon as she fell asleep. Luckily, he was a heavy and loud sleeper, and as soon as she heard him sawing logs, she knew she was in the clear for the night. She silently promised to make it up to him as soon as possible.

The next day, Cadance felt her debt to her husband grow even larger as he took on most of the baby duties. While the two still did most things together, they always took Flurry Heart with them. Usually Cadance would take her out of an important meeting whenever she got fussy or needed a diaper change, but now Shining Armor did those things unless she was hungry. This meant that whenever Shining Armor wasn't by Cadance's side, he was with the baby. Even when the two separated, Cadance walked through the halls and looked out the window at the courtyard below where the guards were doing their drills. Sure enough, Shining Armor led them below, with their giggling daughter riding on his back.

She smiled down at him, even if he couldn't see her. Cadance knew there was no way he'd try to masturbate when Flurry Heart was anywhere near him. She also knew she'd owe him a hell of a lot of blowjobs.

That night was Shining Armor's turn to put Flurry Heart to bed. Cadance got to bed before him and made sure she appeared to be mostly asleep by the time he returned. He didn't disturb her, except with a sweet peck on the head as he crawled into bed. She stayed awake a while longer, just in case.

Sure enough, about fifteen minutes after Shining Armor's kiss, she could feel the sheets rustling and the soft sounds of her husband rubbing himself. He wasn't quite stroking himself yet, but rather working himself up to an erection.

Cadance rolled over, draping her arms over her husband's chest with her eyes still closed. She nuzzled into him sweetly. He gave a somewhat frustrated sigh, but wrapped his arms around her shoulders and kissed her again anyway. He was sound asleep before long, and Cadance breathed a sigh of relief. Mentally, she urged Shining Armor's balls to keep working to make that precious sperm, knowing those orbs would soon get all the payoff they desired.

On the third day, Cadance took over Flurry Heart duties for Shining Armor. It was the least she could do after everything he had done for her. She could see the lack of release was getting to him. It was as if his gears were getting rusty and stuck; he was distracted, a bit irritable, and generally lacking the aura of masculine confidence that usually hung about him. Cadance knew he needed to shoot a few loads to grease those gears properly and get his rhythm back, but it was the only thing he couldn't do.

She knew his weekly meeting with the captains would be a tough spot. He would meet with the empire's military leaders, then go straight to guard drills, and Cadance or Flurry Heart wouldn't be there for any of it.

Cadance timed her move carefully. She kept a close eye on the clock, waiting until his meeting was supposed to end. When the time came, she excused herself from her philanthropy tea party to "feed Flurry Heart." Then, she headed straight for the halls outside of the war room.

Sure enough, she spotted Shining Armor striding toward the bathroom, whistling cheerfully with the latest of Spank tucked against him with magic, the cover promising "10 Hot Crystal Cunts You can See Yourself In." If there was any doubt about his plans, his cock was already unsheathed, the fat, flaccid member flopping beneath him eagerly. Cadance didn't take issue with the porn; she'd bought him a dozen subscriptions the day he went away to guard academy that he still maintained to this day. But since she'd never stopped him from this before, she knew it would be tricky to now.

"Honey!" she blurted out, approaching him before he could enter the stallions' bathroom. "What are you doing?"

He stopped and turned toward her. He looked a little surprised, but not quite embarrassed. "Oh, uh... You know. Just going to uh, bust a few nuts before drills," he said, holding up the magazine as evidence.

Cadance's brain raced for an excuse. "I'm sorry, but would it be too much to ask for you to give me a hoof in this charity tea? I just, uh... really could use your opinion on a few things."

Shining Armor scratched the back of his head with a hoof. "Uh... Sure, I guess. But maybe I should stop by our room and get changed or something, if it's a fancy-"

"No time!" Cadance interrupted, grabbing him by the hoof with her magic and dragging him to the parlor she had just left.

"But - what about the baby? And the porn?" he asked in protest.

It was too late. Cadance burst into the parlor with husband and baby in tow. She collected herself quickly and introduced her husband to the various crystal mares gathered. "Sorry about the wait, ladies. I found my husband, and thought he might have a useful perspective on these matters!" She turned to Shining Armor and added, "Why don't you take a seat, dear?"

Shining Armor did so, confused, flustered, and marginally embarrassed. He hid the dirty magazine behind his back and asked, "So... what are we donating to?"

The mares watched awkwardly, some staring at him and some looking away with bright red faces. One of the older ones adjusted her glasses and asked him, "Did we, erm… interrupt you, Your Highness?"

Shining Armor cocked his head. "What do you mean?" he asked, trying to feign ignorance.

The mare merely coughed and nodded downward. Shining Armor looked at his crotch to see that his cock still had yet to retreat, the massive slab of dark flesh hanging out and throbbing before him.

"Oh. Right," he replied, his expression flattening now that his embarrassment was complete. At least he was a Prince, so the others seemed to more embarrassed than he was.

"Oh! I'll get some ice," Cadance said as she popped up from her seat. As she fled the room, she nervously added, "You know how stallions are! It's like it has a mind of its own!"

"Clearly..." another mare said, the group unable to take their eyes off the vulgar, and yet undoubtedly impressive display.

Luckily, the two managed to survive the event mostly unscathed, and the ice pack surely would keep Shining Armor from touching himself for the rest of the afternoon. On the fourth day, though, she knew she'd have to get creative. It took some string-pulling, and it would mean a long night for her, but it would be worth it to get him off her tail, metaphorically and literally.

Shining Armor took Flurry Heart to guard drills that day, and Cadance came down late in the afternoon before he could have a chance to slink away to his office or the locker rooms, with a few captains in tow. Her husband always looked so dashing in his armor; usually seeing him in it made her want to lift her tail for him, but she knew she couldn't just yet. Not until the right time. Three nights away.

Plus, with Flurry Heart on his back, Cadance felt more like swooning than getting frisky. Something about a stallion in armor being fatherly got her right in the heart. She approached him with a happy smile. "Honey! I've got something for you!"

Shining Armor removed his helmet and looked at his wife and all of the other senior guards in her wake. He half-smiled. "What is this?"

Cadance wiggled playfully. Taking Flurry Heart off his back with her magic, she said, "Well, I know things have been hard on you lately, so I got you a night off!" She walked up to him and gave him a peck on the cheek. "I even rented out your favorite bar for the night. Drinks are on me."

Shining Armor looked surprised and excited, but he couldn't quite believe it. "Wow, Honey - but are you sure? I don't want to drink too much and come home late or anything..."

Cadance shook her head at him. "Shiny, you haven't had a guys' night since your bachelor party. There was the wedding fiasco, then the coronation, and then the baby... If you want to get plastered and stagger home at four in the morning, you go right ahead. Besides, it's not like you're going to a strip club."

Shining Armor nodded to himself in agreement. "That is true..."

One of the captains cuffed him roughly on the shoulder. "Come on, ya pussy. Last I heard, you were Brass Balls Armor! But maybe now we should call you Nanny Armor!"

Shining Armor grinned and gave him a cuff back. "We'll see who's got brass balls by the end of tonight!"

The males cheered and led Shining Armor off, and Cadance waved, using her magic to make Flurry Heart wave after him too. "Have fun, honey!" she called. But he was already lost in a wave of whooping and laughing stallions.

It was a bit busy, handling the rest of the day without him while taking care of Flurry Heart on all her own. But Cadance found that her mind could rest easy at last. Shining Armor would spend all night in a bar with no mares around, laughing and telling crude jokes and bragging about all the hot tail he landed with his wife, and once he had a few drinks in him there was no way he would be able to get a full hard-on, let alone jack off.

Content with her scheme, Cadance finished her work and retired to the bedroom. She didn't put Flurry Heart to bed immediately, staying up in her rocking chair and reading her to sleep before the Princess retired to her bedroom, curled up with a mug of hot cocoa and a good book, and waited up for her husband to stagger home.

And stagger, he did. The guards that watched their chamber overnight, thankfully the two most trustworthy and tight-lipped stallions in their employ, opened the door hours after midnight, dragging the hammered prince with a forehoof on each of their shoulders. Shining Armor was in quite a state; his mane was a mess, his eyes swam in circles while he wore a goofy grin, and his hind legs struggled to find purchase on the stone floor. At least Cadance was right about Shining Armor's susceptibility to whiskey dick - his cock hung out between his hind legs, the flare dragging along the floor between his hooves, giving an occasional throb as it tried to harden, but to no avail.

"The captain dropped him off at the palace gates like this and we carried him here," one of the guards explained.

"Apparently His Highness's 'royal scepter' was out all the way from the bar to here, but I don't think anypony saw it, besides us."

Cadance closed her book and got up from the bed. "Nothing you two haven't seen before. Excellent work boys. I'll take it from here," she said, trotting over to him to carry him the last few feet to bed.

Shining Armor's head rolled until it moved toward Cadance, his eyes focusing on her. "Hey honey... Want some stallion glaze for those - hic - buns?" he slurred, waving his hips toward her, causing his meaty dick to flop around and smack everything from his hips to the floor to the guards beside him. He giggled to himself as Cadance transferred him over to her.

"I sure would," she purred back at her drunk husband. "But we can't do it unless we're in bed." She carried him to the mattress, trying to move his great weight the last few feet as she waved a thank you to the guards, closing the door behind them.

Shining Armor nodded. Then, by his own strength, leaped toward the bed, landing with a thud and a creak that Cadance feared would crack the frame. But everything seemed alright as he adjusted himself among the sheets. He giggled again and said, "I have a secret."

Cadance grinned and got onto the mattress with him. "What is it?" she asked.

He shushed her, then whispered. "You have to come closer."

She leaned in closer. "What is it?"

When her hear was right by his muzzle, he whispered to her, "I'm Brass Balls Armor." He puffed his chest out and grinned with pride.

She rubbed his shoulder. "You sure are, you big stud. Why don't you get some rest, and you can show me in the morning?" But Shining Armor was already nodding off. Now it was Cadance's turn to kiss her husband on the forehead. "Goodnight honey."

He was asleep before she even turned the light out. She smiled to herself. Everything was going according to plan. Just three more days, and it would all be worth it.

Hump, Hump, Hump!

Shining Armor had absolutely no memory of the night before. When asked, all he seemed to know was that he had a good time, and had earned quite a headache as payment. Cadance didn't feel the need to know or tell him anything more than that, and spent the morning nursing him back to health. He insisted on working despite the hangover, since he had already taken a night off, and didn't want to saddle Cadance with all the responsibility that day either.

Luckily for her, his hangover lasted most of the day, which meant her husband was in no mood to jack off. He was groggy, but some painkillers and water helped his head, and the needs of his balls didn't seem to needle the back of his mind like before. Cadance was certain that day five would be easy.

The Prince's health continued to improve throughout the day, enough that he volunteered to take on Flurry Heart for the rest of the afternoon to give Cadance an evening off in repayment. Another weight lifted from her mind, since she knew he wouldn't be doing anything with the baby around.

By the time bedtime rolled around, Cadance was certain she had everything in the bag. She climbed under the covers and kissed her husband. "Goodnight, honey."

"Actually..." Shining Armor started. He rubbed the back of his head with a hoof again. "It's been crazy the last couple of days, and I haven't really had any, you know, 'me time.' I figured you might be feeling kind of tired after staying up so late for me last night, so I wasn't going to ask for a blowjob or anything, but..." he half-smiled down at her. "I was thinking I'd just take myself to the bathroom and, you know... rub one out real quick."

Cadance's eyes opened wide. She didn't expect him to ask directly. What stallion asked their wife for permission to masturbate? All this time she had depended on convenient excuses and half-truths to keep him occupied, but now she had nothing left in her bag of tricks. "Um... actually... I'd prefer if you didn't."

Shining Armor furrowed his brow. "Why not?" he asked, a frustrated edge on his tone.

"I, uh... don't want you to get the bathroom all messy," she replied, praying he'd buy it.

He gave an exasperated sigh. "Alright, well... is it okay if I just do it right here then? My nuts are getting a little sore here, honey, and daddy's got a make a deposit in the spank bank," he said, spreading his thighs and motioning toward his crotch with a hoof.

Cadance felt sweat beading at her temples. "Are you sure the spank bank can't wait until tomorrow?"

Shining Armor put a hoof to the bridge of his nose. "Alright. Cadance, we have to talk."

Cadance's eyes narrowed to pin points. Shining Armor almost never used that tone with her, but whenever he did, she knew she was in capitial-T Trouble. "About what?" she asked sweetly.

With a deep breath, Shining Armor began to speak. "About our sex life. I know that stallions always make a big deal out of sex, and it shouldn't be a big deal because it's just sex, and I love you for so much more than that, but... I've got needs, you know?" he turned toward her.

She nodded sympathetically. "I know, honey. And I always do my best to put you first. I care about those needs."

"Then why have you been cutting me off for almost a week now?" he asked, and for the first time in a maybe forever, Cadance heard real anger in his voice. Anger, disappointment, and hurt. "I thought it was just Flurry Heart getting to you. But then you wouldn't let me jack off! Every time I try to get ten minutes to get some privacy and fire a load off, you interrupt me! Even when I hide or try to sneak around, you always find me. You even made me get a boner and show off the kind of porn I look at in front of the Crystal Ladies' Charity Club! And now my nuts feel like they're going to explode, and I'm cranky because I haven't gotten laid in a week, and I'm wondering if it's because you're not attracted to me anymore! And you've been doing it all on purpose, haven't you?"

Cadance knew she was trapped. She couldn't hide from him; he knew her too well. She hung her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't know Shining Armor was having doubts about her passion for him. "...Yeah..."

He crossed his arms and gave her one stern word: "Why?"

She raised her head, opened her mouth, and the dam burst. "I - just - want - another - BABY!" Cadance sobbed. The tears flowed down her cheeks and she admitted everything. "Ever since I gave birth to Flurry Heart, I haven't been able to stop thinking about getting pregnant again! Every time I look at you, I think about you mounting me and rutting me and putting another foal in me! It's driving me crazy! So I thought I'd just fuck you and beg you to cum inside me, but that didn't work, because according to Dr. Ruby, I wasn't ovulating the last time we did it! And she told me that I couldn't get pregnant if you didn't keep your sperm count up, so then I knew I'd have to make sure you didn't cum until my next heat in three more days, so I had to distract you and interrupt you and I'm sorry for that! But I had to do it, because I knew if I asked you for a second baby right after we just had Flurry Heart, you'd say no, because it's crazy to even think about having another baby right now! But I can't help it because I'm crazy! I just want to feel that life inside me, and I want to feel you knocking me up so I can spend nine more months thinking every day about how the beautiful foal in my womb was made by the balls of the hottest, most amazing stallion that I love more than anything else in the whole world!"

With the rant over, Cadance wiped her eyes and stared up at her husband, ashamed and defeated.

Shining Armor sighed, but his lips curled into a kind half-smile. "You're not crazy. You're beautiful. And kind. And an amazing wife. And an amazing mother. And if you want to have another baby, I don't think my balls would let me say no."

Cadance felt her heart drop with shock and swell with excitement all at the same time. "R-Really?"

Her husband wrapped a warm hoof around her shoulders, pulling her close to his strong, comforting chest, letting him dry her eyes against his fur. "Really. We're a team, Cadance. The pregnancy was hard, but we did it together. And I loved it. I loved seeing you with that big belly, I loved the way you glowed every morning, and I definitely loved putting a baby in you," he admitted with a chuckle. "More than anything, I want you to be happy. You know that. So if you wanted another baby, you should have just asked."

Cadance exhaled with relief and squeezed him tight. "Oh, thank you, Shining Armor! You're the best! I can't ever repay you for this!"

Shining Armor hugged her back and said, "I'm sure you'll find a way. But I hope you know what you're getting yourself into. Because I'm going to knock you up over and over and over again..."

A ribbon of heat lanced down Cadance's spine, and she felt her pussy throb for the first time in days. "You mean it? As many times as I want?"

"Six, seven... a dozen..." Shining Armor said, narrowing his eyes at her. "As many as you want. On one condition."

"What's that?" Cadance asked, peering up at him.

He grinned a cocky grin. "You'll see when the time comes." Settling back into bed, preparing for sleep, he changed the topic. "I guess I should keep my baby batter where it is for now, then. Gotta make sure there's enough to get the job done. When's your ovulation?"

"Three days," Cadance said, snuggling up with her husband. "Can you last until then?"

"I think I'll manage. Three days..." Then, he turned toward her with a gleam in his eye. "Then it's hump, hump, hump?"

Cadance nodded back with a smile. "Hump, hump, hump."

The next three days went a lot more smoothly than the last. Cadance had never kept a secret from Shining Armor, and confessing to him was a huge weight off her shoulders. She couldn't believe she didn't think he would say yes. Even if he had disagreed, she was certain he'd be open to talking about it, and worst case scenario, want to wait a little longer to have another foal. She should have known her husband would be just as eager to get her knocked up as she was.

That eagerness made the next few days especially fun. When the two were alone, Cadance would flick her tail at her husband, showing him her aching, needy pussy, and say things like, "I can't wait to feel all that hot, steamy cum fill me up to the brim."

That always got a rise out of Shining Armor. But Cadance didn't expect him to fight back. Just as often, he'd raise his tail, show off his fat, heavy balls, and say, "It's like I can feel all the cum these bad boys are churning up right this second. They're screaming at me to breed you, right here, right now."

But they both knew they had to wait until the right time. But heavens, Shining Armor was making it hard for Cadance to resist. His nuts looked so heavy, so swollen, as if his sack was stuffed full to bursting of his virile, potent seed, even a drop of which could be enough to fertilize her aching womb... she felt her stomach's hollowness all the more keenly now.

They quietly informed the castle staff that they were going to start trying for another. Having gone through the process less than a year ago, everypony still knew what was expected of them. Cadance was amazed at how difficult it could be to get ten minutes of privacy with her husband, but when they were both royalty and had the responsibilities to match, it took a village to make a baby.

Dr. Ruby provided Cadance with a fresh supply of ovulation tests, consisting of cotton swabs to collect samples of her vaginal mucus and a reagent that would change colors when she was at her most fertile. In the days leading up to the appointed time, Cadance took many small bathroom breaks to take this test, dipping swab after swab into her pussy and then into the clear fluid, waiting for it to turn red. As Dr. Ruby had put it for the couple, "red means rut!"

And yet, each time, the fluid remained clear. In the morning and evenings, Shining Armor would wait outside the bathroom for her, looking hopeful, trying to keep it in his sheath, only to be met with his wife emerging and shaking her head.

"Persistence is key," he'd reassure her with a rub on her shoulders. "We just have to keep hump, hump, humping away at it."

Cadance would nod. "Hump, hump, hump," she'd reply with a smile.

Tensions in the Crystal Palace were high on the seventh day, the day that Cadance had painstakingly checked and re-checked on her calendar and cycle and determined would be the day she began her heat. The other Princesses happened to be arriving that day for a monthly meeting on both the state of Equestria, as well as a friendly get together, girls' day. Cadance wanted to surprise her loved ones with the news like last time, but worried that each time she slipped away to the bathroom, they'd become suspicious.

But they didn't seem to notice, even though the palace staff eyed the royal couple carefully. Their servants, guards, and officials all held their breath whenever they saw the couple, and had a habit of crowding around any bathroom Cadance went into just in case. They knew how sensitive of a matter this was - Cadance would only be at optimal fertility for a few hours, which meant the moment that liquid turned red, everyone had to ensure the royal couple had a clear runway to get the job done.

The seventh day dragged on. Cadance tested herself in the morning with no results. She interrupted tea with her aunt to test, again with no results. She stepped away from dinner to test, but again nothing. And lastly, before bed, she sat in the royal bathroom with a freshly-wetted cottons swab.

The personal guards, Cadance's maids, Shining Armor's butler, the royal steward, and Dr. Ruby all waited outside by the bed eagerly for the princess to emerge. Shining Armor stood at the head of the pack, his breath held tight.

Cadance burst out the bathroom. She held up the glass. Clear.

Everyone exhaled and groaned in disappointment. "Probably in another couple of days," Dr. Ruby consoled them. "A mare's cycle isn't always an exact science. With all the hormones running through the Princess after the pregnancy, I'm not surprised it's delayed. We should be ready after the other Princesses leave this weekend."

Shining Armor patted Cadance's shoulder. "We'll be ready."

She half-smiled up at him. "Can you last that long?"

He grinned back. "They don't call me Brass Balls Armor for nothing."

The next day, Cadance still kept up her checking. Morning - nothing. Afternoon - nothing. Cadance sighed as she emerged from the bathroom. She guessed Dr. Ruby was right. It would probably be a few more days.

All of the Princess business had been talked over the previous day, which meant that Cadance and the others could spend more time relaxing and enjoying each other's company in the beautiful Crystal Empire. Plus, she knew that Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor would want to spend some time together too.

So Cadance decided to let Shining Armor get some time with his sister and the other Princesses outside, hanging back to feed Flurry Heart and put her down for a nap. She didn't mind; getting some bonding time in with her daughter meant the world to her. Feeling her child feed from her very body made Cadance more certain than ever that she wanted another. The wait was killing her, but she knew it wouldn't be too much longer.

After Flurry Heart was full and bundled up in her crib, Cadance headed out to rejoin her husband and fellow Princesses...

But not after one quick trip to the bathroom.

She had just checked not two hours ago, but out there she wouldn't be able to take her test kit with her, and she didn't want nagging thoughts of ovulation distracting her from quality time with her family. So, resting herself on the toilet, she spread her legs, stuck a dry wad of cotton between her lips, and dunked it into the flask.

The water turned a bright, unmistakable red.

Cadance flung open the bathroom door in a panic. She swung her head around for the nearest pony, anypony. She spotted the castle steward, a middle-aged mare named Lace Doily. She grabbed her by the hooves and stared her in the eyes with a manic gaze. "Hump, hump, hump!" she shouted.

Lace adjusted her glasses, momentarily confused, but then her eyes widened. "Hump, hump, hump?" she asked.

Cadance nodded.

Lace nodded back, separating and running down the hall. "I'll make sure the chambers are prepared!" Then, to the other servants, she cried, "Hump, hump, hump!"

Once they processed the code, they snapped to attention. "Hump, hump, hump!" they responded as they, too, began to run around frantically to get everything ready.

But Cadance couldn't do it alone. Shining Armor was outside the palace! And she didn't have a single moment to spare! She spread her wings and zipped off like a rocket, darting through an open window and into the sky as fast as she could.

Within moments, she spotted her husband and the Princesses in town square, right in front of the statue of Spike the Brave and Glorious. She darted to the ground, landing heavily right in front of her husband, even cracking some of the crystal below.

"Cadance?" Shining Armor asked. "Is everything-"

"Hump, hump, hump!" she shouted at him.

Twilight Sparkle and the other Princesses cocked their heads. "What? Is there a camel or something around?" Twilight asked.

Shining Armor immediately understood his wife's meaning. He turned back to his sister and in-laws. "Sorry to do this, but I've got to go all of a sudden!"

"But- what are you doing?" Twilight asked as he started to move.

He called over his shoulder as his hooves carried him toward the palace. "I'm going - I- I've gotta - hump, hump, hump!"

Celestia and Luna snickered. Twilight just seemed confused. "What?" she asked of the other two.

The couple sprinted back to the palace, streaking past all the other townsponies in a blur. When they reached the big palace doors, Shining Armor called ahead to the guards, not slowing down for a moment. "Hump, hump, hump!"

The guards snapped to attention and quickly began to open the stone doors. As the couple ran past, they saluted their Prince. "Hump, hump, hump!"

Once inside, Lacy Doily and Dr. Ruby Heart joined the couple in sprinting down the hall. Now out of the public eye, Shining Armor's cock dropped, unable to restrain itself any longer as the flaccid dick throbbed with anticipation, but no one batted an eye. Dr. Ruby spoke first. "Now, Cadance will be at her most fertile for the next few hours, until sundown, but she should still be fertile for the next few days afterwards. Still, Shining Armor you should try to ejaculate inside of her as many times as possible. This is not the time to perform for your mare; all that matters right now is giving that penis as much pleasure as possible. Speaking of which, you should probably try to work that into a full erection, Your Highness," she added.

"Working on it," he replied tersely as his member slowly began to throb and rise.

Lacy Doily spoke next. "The maids have cleaned your room and have over a dozen sets of fresh sheets as needed. The guards are being stationed at every corner and intersection in the corridor outside your bedroom to ensure you two are not disturbed. I've canceled all your appointments for the next three days, and the kitchen staff is already working on preparing a buffet to bring to your room. Starting now, there will be absolutely nothing that will prevent His Highness from being absolutely, completely, and totally balls-deep in Her Highness for the next seventy-two hours. And don't worry for a minute about the noise, you two just focus on making that baby!"

"You're a lifesaver," Cadance said with a grateful smile.

The couple passed by more servants and guards as they entered the wing toward their bedroom. The maids stood by with the old sheets and buckets of dirty mop water, while the guards stood at attention at every possible entrance into the wing. Each saluted the royal couple as they passed. "Hump, hump, hump!" they said.

"Hump, hump, hump!" Cadance and Shining Armor affirmed.

Dr. Ruby and Lace Doily stopped the couple as they reached the bedroom door for the final words before sealing them away. Lace Doily said, "I'll personally watch Flurry Heart, and I've arranged a wet nurse for her. If you want her, just ask somepony to fetch her for you."

"Thank you," Cadance said, wrapping her up in a hug.

Dr. Ruby inspected beneath the couple's tails. "Princess, your moisture looks good... Prince, it appears you've developed a massively stiff erection."

"You have no idea," Shining Armor replied with a grin as his huge hard-on throbbed and slapped at his chest beneath him.

"Very well," Dr. Ruby said. As she closed the doors, she said, "All that's left now is to hump, hump, hump!"

The royal couple stepped inside and replied, "Hump, hump, hump!" And with a thud, they were finally alone at last.

Cadance hurried to the bed and bent over the edge, lifting her tail sky high and spreading her legs, giving her husband all the room he needed to impregnate her. "Come on, Shining, we don't have much time left," she said.

But Shining Armor took his time, strutting over to her. "We've got a couple hours. And then a few days after that." He dragged a hoof slowly across his wife's supple, curvy bottom. "After all, I said there would be a condition."

Cadance had almost completely forgotten about that. Her ears flattened in barely-contained rage. "What condition?"

Shining Armor grinned a cocky, confident grin at her. "On the condition that we do things my way this time around." He climbed up onto the bed as he explained. "Last time we tried for Flurry, I had to hold it in for weeks at a time, then when it was time to make the baby, I had to hurry up and cum as quickly as possible. I barely got to enjoy it. But I'm not going to be so generous this time. This time, you'll have to earn it," he said.

A part of Cadance was furious that anything was delaying the desperate need for jizz in her pussy right this very second. But a larger part was incredibly turned on, seeing Shining Armor suddenly being so dominant with her. Neither of them really "wore the pants" in the bedroom before, but already she felt herself submitting to this newer, powerful version of her husband. "I'll do anything," she said. "Just tell me whatever you want and I'll do it."

Shining Armor chuckled. "It's not what I want." He rested his hooves behind his head casually and spread his thighs, giving room for his thick, towering cock and his massively swollen balls. "It's what they want."

Cadance stared at that dark blue sack like a starving pony. "They...?"

Shining Armor nodded. "My balls are the ones doing all the work here. They're the ones that have been churning up all that precious sperm you want so badly, and the ones that have had to hold it all in for over a week. So if you want them to give you all that cum your pussy needs so badly... You'll have to ask them for it."

Cadance's curiosity was piqued. She climbed up onto the bed next to Shining Armor, staring down at that heavy sack. In an unsure voice, she asked, "Please... Shining Armor's balls? Will you, uh... give me your sperm?"

Shining Armor chuckled. "I think you can ask a bit more nicely than that." He motioned with his muzzle down to his sack, and suddenly Cadance understood exactly what he was getting at.

She giggled a bit and batted her eyes at her husband. "Of course," she said. She laid her head down, approaching those two heavy stones, beholding them with a growing sense of awe. It wasn't hard to get into the mood Shining Armor was setting once she was here. Her hopes, her future, and the fate of her womb all rested on those two precious orbs. Her husband's two cum factories. His big, heavy sperm banks. The most sacred of his male organs. Just beholding them felt like a divine experience, like coming face-to-nutsack with a god. And by the grace of her husband's testicles, she would receive the ultimate gift of his sperm; life itself.

Cadance closed her eyes, opened her mouth, and planted her lips on Shining Armor's balls. Then, she began to worship. She dragged her lips and tongue over the surface, pursing her lips around the loose, warm flesh of his scrotum and stroking the curves of his testes with her tongue. She suckled and kissed at them reverently, inhaling the warm, musky smell of fresh nutsack and tasting the light, salty flavor that lingered on his balls. She nuzzled her nose between the cleft of his gems, licked at the underside, making sure not a single inch of his precious ballsack went unattended to. And she moaned. She could feel the power coursing through them as she did. The potency tingling just beneath her lips, even just one drop of their invaluable liquid able to knock her up in an instant. She was left trembling with need and arousal.

When she did release them from her mouth with a pop, she stared at them with utter deference, like an icon resting on an altar, and she spoke to them as if she were praying. "You great, magnificent pair of balls... I've never felt something so amazing, so powerful, so awesome as the sperm you have in store for me. These balls will continue on the royal bloodline of the Crystal Empire, and therefore the entire Empire owes these balls their undying gratitude and devotion, no less myself. Shining Armor's balls, you are truly the crown jewels of this kingdom. But even more importantly, for me, you are our family jewels. It's only with your precious cum that I can be pregnant. My womb belongs to you! You can fill it whenever you like! So please, Shining Armor's balls... breed me now!"

Cadance dove back down to lavish Shining Armor's nutsack with desperate suckles and licks, gorging herself on his balls. Above, Shining Armor moaned as he felt his already stiff cock grow to a terrifying erection the likes of which he hadn't mustered since before Flurry Heart was conceived. He wasn't quite sure how his wife would run with his prompt, and while the speech was a little odd, the worship was quickly growing on him. It felt good to know that there was something powerful swinging between his legs, something that could turn his wife into his submissive broodmare at the mere sight of them. And he wasn't going to let that feeling go.

Looking down, seeing Cadance utterly making out with his big balls was exactly the sight he had been looking for. "Stop," he commanded, and Cadance did, pulling back and looking up at her husband, and his massive erection, hopefully. "My balls are ready to breed you now. Bend over and lift your tail. It's time for me to perform my Princely duties," he said with a cocky grin.

Just the promise earned a gush of moisture from Cadance. In a flash, she was bent over on the bed, her chest pressed into the pillows, her tail raised sky-high and her rump pointed straight at her husband. Her hindlegs were spread wide, knowing she would need all the room possible to accommodate his incredible girth. Her pussy was winking in time with her pounding heartbeat, each flash of her moist lips sending droplets of her juices flinging to the sheets and staining her perky asscheeks and thighs. "I'm ready," Cadance called, feeling the heat burning in her body in more ways than one. "I'm ready to get knocked up!"

As always, Shining Armor didn't hesitate or tease. The anticipation alone was more than enough foreplay for the both of them. With the knowledge that what was about to happen would be nothing short of amazing, he approached his wife and swiftly mounted her. He humped and thrust with utter abandon, and Cadance did her best to weather the storm, feeling that thick, throbbing, drooling flare stabbing at her ass and thighs, getting closer and closer to finding purchase. Just a little more...

All at once, Shining Armor rammed his trunk-like dick into his wife, sinking his massive shaft into her with a loud, wet squelch until his balls slapped against her clit. "Ahhh, yeahhh..." he groaned with relief to once again be sheathed inside of his wife's warm, needy pussy.

Cadance gasped and cried out, no longer having any reason to hold back. "SHINING ARMOR! YES! GIVE ME YOUR BIG FUCKING DICK!" she screamed, tears already forming in her eyes from the rapturous feeling of fullness that shook her to her core. It was finally happening again. No pretenses, no lying, no distractions or obstructions: it was finally time to have sex with her husband for the sole purpose of creating a foal. Just the initial penetration confirming this was enough to send a climax rippling through her limbs and down her spine, making the thrusting all the wetter for Shining Armor.

The Prince knew his wife was enjoying herself regardless of what he did, so he simply settled into his rhythm. Hard and fast, he pumped his cock into his wife, riding deep inside of her, slapping his nuts against her clit, his cock singing at the way her cunt squeezed and begged for more of his meat. And again, with a dick as massive as Shining Armor's, all Cadance could do was plant her hooves and do her best to stay upright as she was utterly ravaged, each thrust turning her whole body into a sleeve for the Prince's gigantic royal scepter. But nothing could have been sweeter. Every core-shaking thrust brought her ever-so closer to fulfilling the gnawing emptiness in her womb with a foal, but first it would be filled with Shining Armor's precious cum.

It was rare for Cadance to be so utterly at the mercy of Shining Armor's lusts, but he knew as well that the revelation of her newest kink would mark a turning point for the two of them. This wouldn't be the last foal. Whenever she wasn't pregnant, he would fuck and creampie his wife whenever he wanted. And when she was pregnant, she would submit to him in total gratitude for blessing her with his seed. And this was just the start. With every buck into her hips that rocked the foundations of the bed itself, he felt her yield to him more and more. She was loving every second of this, not just for the foal that would come of it, but for the way it brought them closer together. She would always be his wife. But now she was his broodmare as well.

"Yeah... Take my big, fat dick," Shining Armor growled into her ear. "I love you so much. I love my big, slutty cocksleeve."

"And I - ah! - love my big breeding stud," Cadance managed to groan as she kept her balance beneath him. "I love you, Shining Armor. - Now - creampie me! Creampie your wife!"

He didn't need to be told twice. It was already beginning. Feeling his nuts tightening beneath him, poised to blow his massive, pent-up wad inside his mare, his eyes were rolling in his head and his mouth hung open with a pleasured grin. He slammed himself as hard as he could into her, the rocking bed easily heard outside their chambers, but the two existed only to each other. "Cadance-! I'm- I'm gonna cum..."

Cadance felt her veins turn to ice at those words. Her brain froze. The ice burned into white-hot intensity, a climax bigger than any other building within her. This was the moment. Unlike before, when she thought that the moment of impregnation was about to occur, she knew now without a doubt. The test was clear. She was fertile. One drop of semen could impregnate her. And Shining Armor was about to blast her womb to kingdom come with all the cum she had forced him to store up over the week. He was at maximum fertility. It was going to happen. She felt time slow again, her breathing shallow, her head light, her entire body coiled and ready to explode the moment she felt that first precious drop blow into her. She was about to be impregnated.

"Yes, Shiny! Do it! Cum in me!" she wailed desperately.

Shining Armor could barely keep thrusting, his mind reeling as well with incredible pleasure. He was so pent-up, he knew this would be a big one. His mouth hung open and his eyes crossed, but his hips kept pounding his massive dick deep inside of his wife. "Fuck, Cadance! I gotta jizz so fucking bad..."

"Jizz in me, Shiny! Jizz in me nice and deep!"

"Yeah... Yeah - Yeah!" Shining Armor grunted as he felt his powerful, smacking thrusts into Cadance finally bring him over the edge. His balls drew upward, and there was no stopping it now. "Cadance! I'm gonna jizz! Right inside you! It's happening! It's - It's...!" At last, Shining Armor buried himself absolutely balls-deep inside his wife, and the first pulse of his orgasm throbbed like an earthquake through his giant cock. His face contorted into a gaping-mouth, cross-eyed, tongue-out mask of total fucked-out bliss as he experienced the greatest pleasure a stallion could ever know with his wife. He signaled the moment with a final cry: "Here comes a baby!!!"

At last, Cadance felt it. That stupid-huge cock buried to the hilt in her. Her husband's balls throbbing against her clit. And the first gush of thick, warm, heavenly cream blast into her womb.

"YES SHINY! BREED ME!!!" Cadance wailed as she came hard. Her legs quivered, her mind blanked, and her pussy spasmed, every limb and every inch of her pussy alight with pure climactic bliss. Cadance squirted hard, her cunt clenching and juicing her own pussy with all the force of a geyser, soaking her husband's balls and thighs as well as the sheets below. But she couldn't stop herself. The cum just kept coming and coming, filling her, her husband's cock throbbing, each throb sending another torrent of warm, gooey, precious cum crashing into the walls of her womb. It wasn't long before she could feel it flowing around her clit as her squirting faded, soaking her rump and thighs, dribbling and pooling onto the bedsheets below. But it all meant one thing that she knew with no doubt: in that moment, she was pregnant.

Cadance didn't pass out, but she did come to lying on Shining Armor's broad chest, his fur matted with sweat, both breathing hard. The sheets covered their lower bodies, but the stains upon them were copious, both with her thin, clear juices, and the big, sticky white splotches from his emission. But they couldn't help but smile.

"We did it," Shining Armor said with a tired but utterly blissful grin. "You're pregnant. You've gotta be."

Cadance snuggled into her husband, kissing his body. "You're going to be a dad again," she said.

Shining Armor beamed a proud grin. "A little sibling for Flurry Heart... It's going to be amazing."

"As long as it's not another alicorn," Cadance joked. But she kissed him on the neck tenderly. "Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me," Shining Armor replied humbly. Then, with a cocky smile, he looked at his wife and added, "You should be thanking them," pointing his hoof toward his balls.

Cadance gave a mischievous grin back. "Oh? But if I do, you might get excited again, Shiny..."

"The doc said we should do it as much as possible. And I was the guard captain," Shining Armor boasted. "Stamina was always my strong suit."

"Well well, Captain Armor," Cadance cooed, slipping her head beneath the sheets. "I'm at your command."

Shining jumped when he suddenly felt his wife's lips on his balls again, cleaning them of the fluids from their previous bout and prepping him for another. "Fuck... I love you, Cadance," he groaned.

Cadance peeked her head back up from the covers to smile softly at him. "I love you too, Shining Armor."

The two kissed warmly and tenderly. And then Cadance went back to her work, preparing her husband and her womb for a long bout of foalmaking that would surely last into the night and the morning beyond.

Author's Note

I thought about extending the fic a bit, not with any more drawn-out or detailed sex scenes, but with a little more at the end to make use of the 72-hour window I set up. I'm not sure if that would be a good idea since this seems like such a natural stopping point though. Thoughts?
